Fem tech

Tonight Aileen Lee wrote a great article in techcrunch about  why women rule the internet. It had some basic statistics about social site use, all well put together. She wrote:

If you figure out how to harness the power of female customers, you can rock the world.

It seems logical that our game (where women are rewarded for compassion, teamwork and caring for others) does touch some real basic feminine values.

It just amazed me to see the level of anger in some of the comments about Aileen's article.  If the percentages were reversed, would women have responded the same way?

Having ladies who aren't focussed* on them makes some men nervous, I think.

Of course, these are the same guys who do not think it is weird that in some games the only way you can react with an object is to shoot it.
